She moved closer and planted a hand on his head mussing his hair. "That the thing kiddo. It's all a big cruel joke sometimes. Life is. And it's not fair. Which is why we play dirty. We lie, cheat, steal and betray people just for a few more seconds in the sun. A few more bites of food. And we try to pretend that if we do these things, we'll be in on the joke."
She grinned ruefully. "But it doesn't do us any good to be sad about it. So you might as well laugh! Show the world that you're not scared! That you're not gonna go down without a fight. Make everyone see that the joke's on them too!"
